Materials
Probably a cotton-synthetic mix, 2-ply stitched together. A thick seem running horizontally across the banner suggests it is constructed of two separate pieces of material, stitched together. All details are painted, possibly separately before being transferred onto the material.
Hanging Mechanism
There is no actual hanging mechanism but white cotton ties have been attached to each corner, except bottom left where the tie is black.
